I've used many of them in many situations. They are just as good as any other. Turn on TRIM/DISCARD on a recent Intel 320 SSD and the drive will die due to a "known issue".

They spontaneously die to firmware glitches sometimes. This is unusual for a hard drive (never had any of my rotating rust do this in 20+ years), but you get used to it after a while. The media isn't actually damaged, just the firmware has stopped talking to you. If removed and re-inserted they will typically wake up and suddenly they're OK again until next time.
